Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud finished a distant third in the Heisman Trophy voting on Saturday night. USC quarterback Caleb Williams took home the bronze statue ahead of second-place finisher Max Duggan, with Stroud not garnering nearly enough first and second-place votes in the final tally.
Still, simply being invited to New York as a Heisman finalist is a lifetime achievement, and Stroud is now a two-time finalist, the first in Ohio State’s history.
The four finalists, Williams, Stroud, Duggan, and Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett took part in all of the festivities and interviews, and we have some of the best photos of Stroud mingling with the other three finalists.
Cherish the memories C.J. and use getting so close to one of the most coveted individual awards in all of sport as motivation.
